Rather completely outplayed in the first half, during which the Buckeyes gained a 7 to 0 lead and accounted for live first downs to the Badgers two, the Fighting Badgers did a complete about face and played the game they are capable of, scoring a touchdown in the third period and two more in the fourth to win their first Western Confer- ence victory of the season. Back on their heels for the first two periods, the amazing Wisconsin team blocked, tackled and played superb football until the Ohio horde was swept to annihilation by a squad of inspired Badgers who wouldnt and didnt accept seemingly inevitable defeat.

Wallace, fired from Pres. Trumans cabinet for his foreign policy views, accepted Saturday the editorship of the New Republic, a weekly magazine in which can express them as he pleases. His appointment is effective in December Wallace said it will not interfere with his plans for a Democratic campaign tour. THE OUSTED secretary of commerce said in a statement issued through the Washington office of the magazine: HI shall have the opportunity of saying exactly what I think at a time when a bi-partisan bloc mouthing the phrase One World Is really driving the world into two armed camps.

"Since 1914, it added, "the New Republic has fought in the tradition of true progressivism. No other figure in American life is bet ter qualfiied to carry on this tradition than Henry Wallace. We are proud to say that with Mr. Wallace as the editor of the New Republic the Amerlcsn people need no longer fear that his voice has been silenced.

The disclosure of the new position for the man who served eight years as secretary of agri culture and four as vice-president came shortly before Wallace gave his daughter, Jean, in marriage.

A specially trained force of OPA agents will take the field Monday to press the drive in co-operation with more than 550 local OPA rent offices.

The announcement came as Sen. Wiley (R-Wis) of the senate judiciary committee released correspondence with Atty. Gen. Clark and Price Administrator Porter questioning the right of OPA agents to carry arms and make arrests. Wiley wrot the officials last month that there is some question as to tjie present legal authority for actions of the OPA enforcement staff and demanded to know under what law they were acting.

Porter cited a statute which he said gives the agents the power to make arrests and added that the right to carry weapons for defense necessarily flows from that power. Clark promised his reply later. In the housing enforcement drive. Porters statement said that the "maximum voluntary compliance is sought but that cases requiring criminal prosecution will be certified to the attorney general's office.

Requests Russ Wind Up Of Lend-Lease Urge Moscow to Send Financial Mission For Talks in States WASHINGTON (JPl The United States has sent a note to Moscow requesting Russia to wind up its $11,000,000,000 lend-lease account, informed government official disclosed Saturday. Russia was asked to send a financial mission to Washington to begin discussions as soon as convenient, these officials said. The American note was reported to have been sent several weeks ago but no reply has been received.

The United States furnished $11,141,000,000 in lend-ef Dec. $1, 1945. Russias lend-lease contributions for the same period totaled Russia presumably will he asked during the conversations to pay the United States a percentage of the cost of the guns, tanks, warplanes and other materiel furnished her under the wartime agreennt. In previous similar post-lend-4ease negrtiations with other countries however, the United States has not sought full-scale compensation. Factors like war losses, and casualties are taken Into consideration ibefoxs arriving at a figure and writing closed to the account.

The American note asked a Soviet financial mission to come to Washington to begin the discussions as soon as convenient. The American note to Moscow divorces the lend-lease discussions from the suggested negotiations for a $1,000,000,000 loan to Russia. This change of procedure reflects the American governments growing belief that the Soviet would not accept the conditions for the credit laid down by the United States. Russia requested the loan nearly a year ago but has not agreed to American suggestions for an agenda which would include examination of economic conditions in eastern Europe. Further negotiations art stalled because of Soviet failure to answer a third American note on the subject sent about three months ago.

Badgers Caught Fire, Says Bixler Ohio States Coach Paul Bixler, commenting on his teams defeat said: "The Badgers caught fire after scoring the first touchdown, and we couldnt do a thing with them. Maves first down on the drive for the second Wisconsin marker on our 30 and the subsequent 15 yard penalty inflicted on us for unnecessary roughness really hurt! As the game entered the fourth period the Badgers were really terrific and the Ohio State first, second and third stringers vere carried or led off the field either exhausted or injured by the undaunted fury of the Wisconsin avalanche. The Badgers were a team gone victory mad. Nothing could stop them.

In so doing Wisconsin, a team which played lackadaisical football against Northwestern really found their true ability and having learned what blocking, tackling, and rushing could accomplish. Coach Harry A. Stuhldrehers boys are going to be a tough team to beat from here on until the close of the season Nov. 23. Ohio State scored first, piling up four straight first downs to scora early in the second period.

THE MARCH started when T. A. Cox, who did a splendid punting job for the Badgers all afternoon, averaging 41.4 yards per punt, kicked to Ohio States 27 yard line, where the ball rolled dead. Joe Whisler drove through left tackle for nine and Tommy James made it a first down on a six yard smash at right tackle.

Stilwell, 63, commander of the Sixth army, who recoiled from a hell of a beating in Burma to help knock Japan out of the war. died Saturday.

The wiry general had an operation Oct. 3 for a liver ailment believed contracted the Burma jungles. His condition became critical Oct. 9, and he grew sively weaker. Death came at the Letterman General hospital on the grounds of his Sixth army a a rters here.

Stilwell rarely wore decorations, but the army gave him on his death bed the one he had said he most coveted. It was infantrymans badge, which is awarded only for combat in extended fighting at the front against the enemy. The leathery commander, who had repeatedly exposed himself in combat, had told his soldiers the medal was one the army's highest honors. Stilwell received it Friday.

McCarthy, of Appleton, to a series of public debates on election issues throughout the state. McMurray made the challenge in an open letter to McCarthy, offering to let McCarthy set the time or place of each debate. Following is the text of McMur-rays letter to McCarthy; I well recall that in the recent primary campaign you were continuously hounding your opponent, Robert M. LaFollette, to debate publicly with you the questions of the day. You sounded, moreover, quite sincere about it Consequently it is my suggestion now that you enter upon a series of debates with me on public platforms in Wisconsin, so that the voters of the state may have full opportunity to decide, on mer it alone, which of us they wish to represent them in the United States senate.

"It would be presumptous for either of us to give those man to man discussion the importance of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, but we can hope to approach the essential democracy of those historic meetings. In any case, I suggest to you that we meet in friendly debate in as many Wisconsin communities as time allows let the people know Jut where we stand. I am ready to accommodate you in every roapset 8 whatever time or place yon may suggest All I ask is the expectantly to discuss with you the grave problems of the day so that the voters of Wisconsin may have a chance to decide wisely in the November election. I am completely willing to rest my case with the people. May I have an early reply? supporters happiness.

Old grads, townspeople, and students alike leaned back in their seats through the first half of the game agreeing sadly with each other that the sports dopestfrs were right. "Them writers was right. Wisconsin doesnt stand a chance. But it was a different crowd that jumped from its seats and screamed at different Wisconsin team that mauled Ohio States eleven in the second half. SEATED AMONG the alumni men, who were bring honored at Saturdays game, one glum spectator reflected the mood of the crowd when he yelled at the Badgers following the Ohio touchdown: Goodbye, bdjrs, well see you next year.

It was a different old grad in the second half. After the Badgers second touchdown during the rest of the game, the wheezing grad was singing new music: Oh, you beauties, be shouted after eaqh Badger play. Put weep a tear for the Buckeyes. There was a plot. Just like In 1942.

In 42 when Wisconsin defeated the Buckeyes here, the Ohio State team moaned that it was (be local water that beat them. A dastardly plot, wed say, on the part of the Badgers. BUT THIS YEAR it was the officials who plotted against them. The Buckeyes threaten to bring their own officials next year, Their dressing room chorus was sad. Quipped one listener: Perhaps they should bring their own field, tee.
